Lifestyle Desk – The rainy season is going on but sometimes suddenly the heat increases and it becomes humid throughout the day. The humid weather is no less than a challenge for the fitness routine. In this season, there is more sweating during exercise than on normal days. Sweating is necessary to control body temperature, but along with it, apart from water, essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium and magnesium also come out from the body. This is the reason why after a workout on humid days, you may feel tired, weak, dizzy or have less energy throughout the day. Let us know what things are important to be kept in mind while working out in this season.

Why do you feel tired even after morning exercise?

Many people believe that exercising early in the morning is the best option to avoid the heat. However, morning weather with high humidity can also put additional stress on the body. Despite sweating, if the humidity in the air is high then it becomes difficult for the body to cool itself by evaporating the sweat. In such a situation, the body works harder and one can feel tired quickly.

Additionally, excessive sweating during exercise can disrupt the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. Drinking water alone does not suffice in every situation. It is important to pay attention to electrolytes, especially during long or sweaty workouts.

Not just water, take care of these minerals too

It is important to drink adequate amount of water before and after workout. If the exercise lasts for a long time or there is a lot of sweating, then also pay attention to replenishing electrolytes. Sodium plays a role in the balance of fluids in the body and normal muscle function. At the same time, potassium and magnesium are also essential minerals for the normal functioning of muscles and body.

Coconut water, lemon water, buttermilk and water-rich fruits and vegetables can be included in the daily diet. However, the need for electrolyte drinks in case of excessive sweating depends on the person's activity, amount of sweat and health condition.

Keep workout intensity low

It is not necessary to do high-intensity workouts every day in heat and humidity. In such weather, it may be better to reduce the duration and intensity of the workout a bit. Take breaks occasionally during exercise and do not ignore body signals.

If you feel dizziness, headache, nausea, unusual weakness, muscle cramps or excessive fatigue, stop the exercise immediately and rest in a cool place. It is important to seek medical help immediately if fainting, confusion, or very serious symptoms occur.

Take care of clothes and time also

Wear light, loose and sweat-absorbing clothes for workout. If possible, avoid doing outdoor exercise in extremely hot weather. While working out indoors, ensure adequate ventilation or fan arrangement in the room. Fitness in humidity does not mean pushing the body beyond its capacity, but changing the workout routine according to the weather. By following proper hydration, balanced diet, adequate rest and paying attention to body signals, fitness routine can be continued safely even in this season.
